The Trade News observed in 1995: ‘Foster Construction had its beginnings in Morrinsville in the 1950s, moved to Hamilton in the 1960s and has been writing its signature on Hamilton and parts of the Waikato ever since.’
The Fosters story begins in the post-war era when, like many others, small family businesses took on the challenge of building their local communities, ensuring that the needs of future generations would be met and contributing to the growth in industry and enterprise of regions such as the Waikato.
Today, we are proud to be an award-winning, iconic Waikato brand with a well-established footprint in the Bay of Plenty, too.
We aspire to be industry leaders in sustainable development and design and build projects; adding positively to the built environment to shape thriving communities.
Fosters have built multiple industrial and commercial facilities, schools, hospitals, multi-storey office blocks, university lecture theatres, performing arts centres and much more. Two of our most celebrated buildings are the Claudelands Events Centre and the BNZ Theatre in Hamilton.
We earn trust and develop partnerships
Years of collaborating with many stakeholders and creating joint venture companies have driven Fosters to be more than just a building company. Since the very beginning, specific fundamental values have provided a pathway for how Fosters chooses to operate in the community it serves.
We believe that with success comes responsibility, so we continue to build on our legacy through meaningful contribution, employee empowerment, purposeful business alliances, and sustainable building practice.
We attribute our leadership in construction to our strong foundations: committed shareholders, excellent and loyal staff, and our valued business partnerships.
Connections and alliance
Fosters is a founding partner of the Home Ground Construction Alliance, a national network of eight independently owned regional builders delivering projects across New Zealand.
Being part of Home Ground means our clients also get the backing of a national network of experienced regional builders, while still working with a team that knows this region.
